Hi, all! It's time for another new monthly challenge here at House of Cards! We loved all the beautiful creations from last month and we cannot wait to see what you do with this month's challenge which is....

To create a card with Bokeh effect.I wanted to have a video on how to create this effect, but my computer kept crashing. :(This is why you'll see three cards from me this month. ;)So...you get a written tutorial today and movies, tips, and more from other DT gals later this month!Here's a "How To" if you've never done this before.~

Create you background by either watercoloring or sponging your background. If you sponge/blend your background, consider then spritzing it with Glimmer Mist. Let it dry completely. You can also use a heat tool to shorten this step.

Using your circle stencil, the white craft ink, and the dauber, sponge white circles onto your background in a random way. You can vary the intensity of the white ink to add more interest, too. Be careful to not smear the ink as you sponge. Let the ink dry completely.

The DT cards will be showcased here throughout the month every Monday!

Thanks for popping over today, friends! Come back on Monday for MORE inspiration from this very talented Design Team! We hope you join in the fun, too--please check out our House Rules HERE before linking up! HUGS and happy stamping to you all! Can't wait to see your creations!
